My Dividend Growth Portfolio is no longer an experiment. It’s a long-term case study that illustrates real results of dividend growth investing.

My Dividend Growth Portfolio just reached a milestone that still surprises me: its yield on my original cost hit 18.7%. It didn’t happen with speculation-it happened with a simple dividend-growth “machine” that has produced 17 straight years of higher annual dividends. Here’s how it works.

The move came up rather fast due to the stock’s sudden price increase.

Creating and managing such a portfolio is not hard. You do not even have to follow the market.

In short, our new service — Dividends & Income Select — will serve the needs of a diverse set of investors pursuing their own financial goals by presenting real portfolios (not models and back tests), combined with in-depth analysis covering a wide range of strategies, tools, and techniques to invest for income and growth.
